02:32 MinetestBot 02[git] 04paramat -> 03minetest/minetest: Mgv7: Code cleanup (#7299) 134ccd18d https://git.io/vprp8 (152018-05-07T02:31:55Z)
12:00 Rhonda      ShadowNinja: Around?  I tried to use your MC2MT the other day but didn't know what to do with the resulting file, how to start from there. :)
12:01 Rhonda      I tried to create a new world and after that copied the map file into there, but that doesn't seem to have worked.
12:06 Rhonda      I used geocraft as a basis to generate the minecraft map, if that's of any specific interest.
12:34 Entuland    hello everybody, I've found out about minetest a few days ago coming from 2K hours of creativerse and a couple hours of minecraft - so far I love minetest, love open source stuff :)
12:35 Entuland    I'd like to start messing with mods but I'm a bit lost about how to see what I can actually do with the game
12:36 Entuland    I mean, how to see the API and understanding the actual limitations (stuff like making a spotlight that only casts light in a conic manner or a search interface able to update the results live as you tipe)
12:37 Entuland    I mention those two cases in particular because reading the forums it seems that those two things in particular aren't currently feasible with the game engine
12:40 Shara       Entuland: Not sure if you checked this yet: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
12:41 Entuland    silly me, I didn't think about checking the actual stuff I downloaded for attached docs, thanks Shara :)
12:41 Entuland    also, I found https://dev.minetest.net/Main_Page (for some reason though it gives a security error)
12:41 Shara       No problem. :)
12:42 Shara       Hmm, for me too suddenly. Not seen that before.
12:42 Entuland    the cert seems valid but for some reason Chrome doesn't like it
12:42 Shara       Also using Chrome here.
12:43 Shara       But seems firefox complains too.
12:44 Entuland    not an expert on security so I would just wildguess. The site admins read here? any way to notify them?
12:45 Shara       Would need celeron55 for that I think. (name will notify)
12:46 Entuland    cool, so I'm fine with that, thanks :)
12:46 Calinou     dev.minetest.net doesn't have a valid SSL certificate unlike wiki.minetest.net for some reason
12:46 Calinou     just add an exception :P
12:46 Calinou     I don't know who could register a certificate for it (I can't)
12:47 Shara       But for mods, there's a few resources around. What you find most useful will probably depend on how much you already know. I'd recommend looking at the code of mods you like as well, just to get a feel for how things are used.
12:47 Entuland    oh sure already bypassed that check, not a big deal, I trust the 2nd level domain, the 3rd should be fine as well :P
12:48 Entuland    yep trying to wrapping my mind around it, started learning Lua a couple of years ago, I'll have to pick up from where I left
12:54 Entuland    oh nice I stumbled over https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en/index.html - I guess that Shara is you :)
12:55 Shara       Yes :D
12:57 Shara       It's a pretty good starting point and rubenwardy has done a lot of work on it. I mostly started editing it to have a good excuse to read more :)
12:57 Entuland    I'm very happy to see that the whole project seems to be live and running, I also love the fact you're using good old IRC and not Discord or some other whatever.dot.zero contraption :P
12:58 Shara       I think there's still quite a few of us who avoid them :P
12:59 Entuland    eheheh
19:02 Astrobe     Mining stones drops 1 flint, 9 flints make one cobblestone. Discuss.
20:22 Entuland    hello again, playing around with player:hud_add and player:hud_change - I succeeded adding a waypoint but for some reason player:hud_change(hud_id, "name", "new name") doesn't seem to have any effect (hud_id is the value returned by player:hud_add() of course)
20:22 Entuland    any hint?
23:27 BakerPrime  Does anyone here know a mod (The one used for VE-Servers, and some other servers) that maps the server out?
23:28 rubenwardy  use /emergeblocks
23:28 rubenwardy  or emergearea
23:28 rubenwardy  I forget
23:28 rubenwardy  if you mean something to load areas
23:30 BakerPrime  No, I mean an overhead HTML map
23:30 rubenwardy  oh right
23:30 BakerPrime  Like:
23:30 rubenwardy  est32 wrote some code for that
23:30 BakerPrime  https://daconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/worldmaps/Survival_World/map.html#21/-219.25000/-448.50000
23:30 BakerPrime  ^ That
23:30 BakerPrime  I use the map constantly, and would love to have a copy for my local world.
23:31 rubenwardy  yeah, that's leaflet
23:31 BakerPrime  *of my local world
23:31 rubenwardy  https://leafletjs.com/
23:31 BakerPrime  Ah, how do I generate one?
23:31 BakerPrime  Ah
23:31 BakerPrime  Thanks
23:31 BakerPrime  :D
23:31 rubenwardy  https://github.com/est31/leaftest
23:31 rubenwardy  lol
23:31 rubenwardy  est31 mentions VE's servers there
23:31 BakerPrime  Thanks
23:31 BakerPrime  Cool
23:31 * est31     waves
23:31 BakerPrime  I gotta grab some dinner
23:32 BakerPrime  est31: Thank you. :D
23:32 BakerPrime  AFK (DINNER! Yay!)
23:32 rubenwardy  oh, he's in this channel
23:32 BakerPrime  Just worked 9.5 hours contracting, so hungry and tired
23:32 rubenwardy  sorry for pinging
23:32 rubenwardy  :)
23:32 rubenwardy  enjoy
23:32 est31       no issues
23:34 est31       note that there are two gotchas: 1. leaftest only supports the minetestmapper by rogier (linked in the readme) 2. newer minetest broke the map format so rogier's minetestmapper is not compatible... but there is an open PR that you can apply locally
23:34 est31       https://github.com/Rogier-5/minetest-mapper-cpp/pull/20
23:38 rubenwardy  why hasn't rogier-5's stuff been merged upstream?
23:49 est31       no idea, I'm just using one single flag to be able to have a node based map center
23:49 est31       the official minetestmapper only has block based map centers
23:50 est31       if official minetestmapper added such a flag, I'd be glad to support it
